Now we will talk a little about the place where the apiary can be set up and what parameters it must meet ....
The beehive is a place where we place beehives and before the very beginning of beekeeping, we should have a vision of where we will place the beehive and with how many hives. Jwe is not the same if we have 5 or 100 hives. In the beginning we all have some pair of hives and all those hives are stationary and we don’t move them.
The beehive should also be on land where water is not retained due to moisture, as well as to keep the hives in the sun as much as possible during the winter and in the shade in the summer. The beehive can also be located in an orchard. Various types of trees can be planted and thus make some shelter as well as protection from the wind.
The apiary should also be surrounded by plants that provide the main pasture (acacia, sunflower and linden). Although if the hospital is a wintering ground, then it would be good to have plants in bloom that bloom in early spring so that the bees have the pollen pasture that is necessary for the development of society.
It would be good if there is a stream or river near the beehives, although the problem of water can be solved by installing hygienic drinkers ...
Beekeeping is a very lucrative business. I know a lot of friends who have been waiting to do that in recent years. But just moving the hives for “grazing” fascinates me.
